Answer:

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Late delivery.

Event B: Service 2 was used.

A certain company sends 35% of its overnight mail parcels via express delivery service 1 and the rest by express delivery service 2.

100 - 35 = 65%.

So P(B) = 0.65

Service 2 has a record of 2.0% of packages being delivered late.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.02

Probability of a late delivery.

35% from service 1. Of those, 3% are late.

65% from service 2. Of those, 2% are late.

So

P(A) = 0.35*0.03 + 0.65*0.02 = 0.0235

What is the probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

P(B|A) = \frac{0.65*0.02}{0.0235} = 0.5532

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

How do I make a linear function, what is a linear function?
mixer [17]

Answer:

I have uploaded a picture so you could understand it a little more.

A linear function is when there is a table that gives numbers that represent a function, as shown in the picture.

In the Image, there is a table with a x and y column. And in both columns, there are numbers.

This is what the table looks like in the picture:

<u>  x   y   </u>

0    4                       The key is y = 2x + 4

1     6 <------      lets grab the number 1 in the x column and lets

2    8       multiply it by two.  Now add four to it, and we will

3    10                  have the number 6 in the y column.

4    12


I hope I helped you! God bless :-)

which of the following gives an equation of a line that passes through the point (6 over 5, -19 over 5) and is parallel to the l
victus00 [196]
One equation for this would be

y = \frac{41}{16} x-\frac{55}{8}

We start by finding the slope between the two points:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-12-\frac{-19}{5}}{-2-\frac{6}{5}}&#10;\\&#10;\\=(-12+\frac{19}{5}) \div (-2-\frac{6}{5})&#10;\\&#10;\\=(\frac{-60}{5}+\frac{19}{5}) \div (\frac{-10}{5}-\frac{6}{5})&#10;\\&#10;\\=\frac{-41}{5} \div \frac{-16}{5}=\frac{-41}{5} \times \frac{-5}{16}=\frac{41}{16}

A line parallel to this one will have the same slope.  We will use point-slope form to write our equation:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)&#10;\\&#10;\\y-\frac{-19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}(x-\frac{6}{5})&#10;\\&#10;\\y+\frac{19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}x- \frac{41}{16} \times \frac{6}{5}&#10;\\&#10;\\y+\frac{19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}&#10;\\&#10;\\y+\frac{304}{80}=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}&#10;\\&#10;\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}-\frac{304}{80}&#10;\\&#10;\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{550}{80}&#10;\\&#10;\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{55}{8}
